We look towards discharge from the point of admission, ensuring all of the young people we support have a clear pathway to the next stage of their recovery journey.
The team are experienced in supporting young people with co morbidities, including disordered eating, and can provide naso-gastric (NG) feeding on the ward where deemed clinically appropriate.
There is a diverse educational programme teaching a range of subjects available at the on-site school, Forestwood School, which is rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted and holds the National Autism Society’s accredited-status.
We recognise that most of the young people we support will have suffered trauma and adverse experiences. We are committed to delivering trauma-informed care in a compassionate and nurturing environment. We aim to equip individuals with the tools required to be successfully discharged, and reduce the chance of future relapse.
